Back then when I was converting some repositories to git and I also
wrote a quick testsuite for cvsps in an attempt to fix the bugs but gave
up. That was the point when I wrote about cvsimports limitations in the
documentation.

My commits can be found here:

	http://repo.or.cz/w/cvsps-hv.git

I just quickly checked and it seems that it does not run cleanly on a
modern Linux anymore. If it is of interest to you I can try to get it
running again.

Cheers Heiko
